A famous doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Hua Tuo, Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing are also called "Jian 'an Three Magical Doctors". When I was young, I studied abroad and practiced medicine all over Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places. I didn't want to make progress in studying medicine. He has a comprehensive medical skill, especially good at surgery. And proficient in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture. In his later years, he was suspected by Cao Cao and tortured to death in prison.
Hua tuo was called "the master of surgery" and "the originator of surgery" by later generations. Later generations used to call him Hua Tuo, an imperial doctor, and praised him as a doctor with superior medical skills with "Hua Tuo reincarnation" and "Yuan reincarnation".
Hua tuo's medical skill is superb. Proficient in internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology and other fields of medical knowledge, can flexibly use various prescriptions and acupuncture to treat diseases. His medical skills are superb, and he can accurately diagnose and treat various diseases, and even cure some diseases that are considered incurable in some cases. This made Hua Tuo one of the representatives of the medical field at that time.
Posterity evaluation
As early as the Han Dynasty, Chinese medicine surgery had reached a fairly high level. However, with the passage of time and the continuous progress of the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine, most diseases can be cured by acupuncture, drugs and other treatments, and these painful, severe injuries and broken meridians are gradually replaced by more civilized and simple internal treatment methods.
Under this condition, Chinese medicine has also made great progress, and many other medicines have to admit that it is beyond science and the theory is exquisite and profound.
Although all of Hua Tuo's medical books were burned, his academic thoughts did not completely die out, especially in the study of traditional Chinese medicine. His disciple Upp is a famous pharmacist, and many contents in Upp's Materia Medica can be seen in later medical books.
